Ke = (1/2)mv²

m = 100kg, v = 10 km/s = 10*1000 = 10000m/s

Ke = (1/2)*100*10000 

Ke = 500000 Joules

Kinetic energy is solved by the formula,
                          KE = 0.5 x m x v²
First, convert the given speed in km/s to that with unit of m/s.
                        (10 km/s) x (1000 m/ 1 km) = 10000 m/s
Use the formula to obtain the KE
                           KE = 0.5 x (100 kg) x (10000 m/s )²
Thus, the value of its kinetic energy is 5x10^9 J.

What are the main characteristics of S.H.M​
agasfer [191]

Answer:

•→ The motion of a particle or body in S.H.M acts towards a fixed point.

•→ Acceleration of the body under S.H.M is proportional to its displacement.

•→ This motion is periodic.

•→ Mechanical energy is conserved in S.H.M

Explanation:

S.H.M is Simple Harmonic Motion

Energy Transformation
Serjik [45]

Answer:

<em>K =400000 J</em>

Explanation:

<u>Kinetic Energy</u>

Is the energy an object has due to its state of motion. It's proportional to the square of the speed.

The equation for the kinetic energy is:

\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where:

m = mass of the object

v = speed at which the object moves

The kinetic energy is expressed in Joules (J)

The car has a mass of m=2000 Kg and travels at v=20 m/s. Calculating the kinetic energy:

\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}2000*20^2

Calculating:

K =400000 J

For copper, ρ = 8.93 g/cm3 and M = 63.5 g/mol. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, what is the drift velocity of electro
viktelen [127]

Answer:

V_d = 1.75 × 10⁻⁴ m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Density of copper, ρ = 8.93 g/cm³

mass, M = 63.5 g/mol

Radius of wire = 0.625 mm

Current, I = 3A

Area of the wire, A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} = A = \frac{\pi 0.625^2}{4}

Now,

The current density, J is given as

J=\frac{I}{A}=\frac{3}{ \frac{\pi 0.625^2}{4}}= 2444619.925 A/mm²

now, the electron density, n = \frac{\rho}{M}N_A

where,

N_A=Avogadro's Number

n = \frac{8.93}{63.5}(6.2\times 10^{23})=8.719\times 10^{28}\ electrons/m^3

Now,

the drift velocity, V_d

V_d=\frac{J}{ne}

where,

e = charge on electron = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

thus,

V_d=\frac{2444619.925}{8.719\times 10^{28}\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})e} = 1.75 × 10⁻⁴ m/s

Which is the result of using a machine?
Eddi Din [679]
Correct Answers is A.

The machines gives us some mechanical advantage. This means the mechanical average makes the work output greater than the work input
Simple most example is a lever. The force applied is smaller and the output work is larger as compared to input.

Option B cannot be true, as there must be a force to get some work done.
Option C and D are inverse of what a machine is designed for. A small force can be exerted through a large distance to have a large force exerted through a small distance. Common Example of this principle is a screw opener.
